In other words: What’s a hidden gem I probably haven’t seen but totally should? And why is it a must-watch?
It’s just a very weird romantic comedy that works for people who don’t like romantic comedies.
I think no one has mentioned “the man from earth”, it is a great movie that got a lot of success thanks to piracy, enough that it allowed it to even get a sequel (I haven’t watched it it seems to be far less recommended).
I recommend to just watch it without looking too much at the theme or plot. I’ll just say that it’s a movie with a lot of conversations and basically no action at all. You could compare it in that sense to the classic “12 angry men”, not in plot or theme, but style, mostly something that happens between a small cast of actors through dialogue.
Edit: and just a few minutes before me someone did actually share it…
It’s a small budget indie movie, and if you don’t like people talking and prefer action, then maybe this isn’t for you. Buut, for me, it was a great movie. It only uses one set, a room or two, for the entire movie. And it’s still great.
Huh, I need ti actually rewatch I’ve been suggesting it so much lol
Edit “Timecrimes” was a good one imo as well iirc https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0480669/
Stay 2005
Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters

I enjoyed it, it’s an artsy Japanese film directed by Paul Schrader who wrote Taxi Driver. Unique and engaging film that touches on gender roles and fighting for “valiant causes.”
I liked the cinematography and how they wove the chapters together.
